The Yum Yum Bus travels to the rural areas of Rowan County delivering food to children for free!

The bus operates five days a week, serving breakfast and lunch.

"When a child is hungry more than likely it’s not just that they’re hungry. Their whole being is affected. They’re angry, and they can’t focus", said Lisa Altmann the nutrition director for Rowan Salisbury Schools
